Appel : Coreopsis Journal of Myth & Theater. Anarchy and Harmony

Date limite de soumission : 1er janvier 2025
Pour publication en mars 2025

An exploration of the ideas of “Anarchy” and “Harmony” in culture, art, music, literature, and theater. We are exploring how societies can be arranged differently. Inspired equally by archaeological evidence of very different civilizations in the ancient Celtic sites and the new evidence recently discovered in Amazonia of thriving civilizations ordered on a very different approach to living together than the one we know currently and, also, by U.K. LeGuin’s work in “The Telling” and “The Dispossessed” which explore different approaches to non-hierarchical societies. We challenge scholars to explore Anarchy and Harmony.

Appel : Gastronomic dimensions of fantasy worldbuilding

Theoretical Aspects of Fantasy Literature Studies Magic Fare: Gastronomic Dimensions of Fantasy Worldbuilding

15-16 Janvier 2025, Kyiv Ukraine (Online)
Date limite de soumission : 20 Décembre 2024, 10h.

“Anyone, then, who has tasted fairy fruit walks through life beside other people to a different tune from theirs.Hope” Mirrlees, Lud-in-the-Mist

Fantasy worlds are inhabited by beings that need sustenance. In these imaginary realms, food and drink not only nourish but also transform their consumers, while those who partake of them, in turn, alter their worlds through the magic of what they consume. Whether it is waybread from Middle-earth, fairy fruit that the river carries from Fairyland, or a mug of camra, food and drink serve as a tangible dialogue between the world and its inhabitants. The corresponding process of initiation and transformation involves both the one who consumes and the one who provides. Within the context of imaginary worlds and magic systems crafted by their authors, magic fare presents a spectrum of meanings. It engages corporeality, manifests in various forms of the sacred and the profane, problematises the act of consumption, and often presents cooking as an act of creation.

Appel : Virtual Queer Horror Conference

8 février 2025
University of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania, USA).
Date limite de soumission des propositions : 8 décembre 2024.

From Gothic monstrosity in the 18th century to “kill your queers” in the 21st; from repression to the legacies of violence, rage, and trauma; from creating safe, often beautiful spaces to discuss fear and dread to the “death perception” that comes with a close, long, and personal knowledge of decay, destruction and the impact of time…queerness has been intimately associated with horror from the earliest iteration of the genre.

Date : 6 séances de novembre 2024 à avril 2025

Lieux : Université Paris-Nanterre, Sorbonne-Université, Université Paris-Cité, Université de Limoges… (mode hybride). 

Échéance des propositions : 2 septembre 2024

L’Association internationale des chercheur·ses en Littératures Populaires et Cultures Médiatiques (LPCM) a pour but d’étudier, dans une perspective résolument pluridisciplinaire et intermédiale, les formes des cultures médiatiques, les pratiques qu’elles ont favorisées et les imaginaires qu’elles ont suscités dans les époques moderne et contemporaine. Depuis sa création, l’Association a fédéré des initiatives interdisciplinaires variées permettant une saisie problématisée des récits multimédiatiques produits et diffusés par les industries culturelles et circulant dans l’espace public depuis l’avènement du roman-feuilleton. Fondatrice, en 2001, de la revue en ligne Belphégor, l’Association a aussi, parmi bien d’autres projets collectifs, co-organisé les Assises de la recherche en cultures populaires et médiatiques 2023, qui ont réuni un grand nombre de spécialistes des cultures populaires autour du thème commun « Futurs pop : quel(s) avenir(s) pour les études en cultures populaires et médiatiques ? ».

Appel : Old and New Science Fiction Imaginaries in English-Speaking Cinema and TelevisionAppel

2-4 Septembre 2024, Milan (Italie)
Date limite de soumission : 3 mai 2024
SERCIA – Société pour l’Enseignement et la Recherche du CInéma Anglophone

Keynote speakers: Naomi Mandel (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Pawel Frelik (University of  Warsaw) 

In an interview about the end of the last millennium, James Ballard argued that Science Fiction (SF) had created  the greatest popular literature of the 20th century. The imagery that we saw in the cinema, television,  advertising and other media was the most powerful imagery produced in the last hundred years. By the end of  the century, the genre had done its job and it was dead. This hypothetical death has aroused a widespread  interest in the many ways in which it generated a collective social imaginary through popular images and stories  that, in Ballard’s words again, had “created the psychology of the last decades of the 20th century.” This debate  positioned the genre at the centre of academic discussions. The result was that SF, previously seen as a minor genre, became an important lens to understand not only the 20th century but the new millennium as well. Throughout the 20th century, SF territorialised the future  and, by extension, familiarised people with a large number of technologies and phenomena that have now  become standard in our current mediascape and social context. In other words, by territorialising the future,  the genre had built the present.

Appel : Multiverse Convention

18 octobre 2024, Peachtree City (Etats-Unis)
Date limite de soumission : 30 juin 2025

Multiverse Convention was formed from our belief that great stories don’t only come from the books and  comics we love to read. Each fan is their own universe as well, with their own unique story to tell. Added  together, these infinite stories create the Multiverse of modern fandom. 

This Multiverse also informs the creation of works of speculative fiction, a body of work encompassing every  imaginable academic field. In this light, we seek to create a multidisciplinary academic program that will  showcase the innumerable ways speculative fiction is inspired by various branches of academia.

Call for papers : True Stories? Murder, Memory, and Domestic Media

University of Southern Queensland
Date limite de soumission : 8 avril 2024

True crime has always been popular, and with the growing accessibility of alternative forms of on-demand  media, including streaming services and podcasts, the popularity of the genre has only grown, strengthened by  its appeal to the armchair detective and often the invitation to participate in the solution of the crime itself. As  Larke-Walsh (2023) observes, the viewer’s compulsion to close the case—or to contest it—testifies to the text’s  ‘potential for positive social impact’. Alternatively, Milliken and Anderson argue (2021) that the use of fictional  devices in true crime drama raises ethical questions about the exploitation of personal tragedy for public  consumption, with true crime often accused of sensationalist reporting, moralising missions, and victim  exploitation rather than advocacy.
